I changed my vote to being poor in a rich country.
I would rather be poor in a rich country. My country has abundant food, 24/7 electricity, clean water, free health care. Good transpiration links. Social benefits if you are ill or disabled. I was in Sri Lanka in March and that country lack these things, even if you are rich - if you are rich and only have Sri Lankan Rupees in your bank these can be dismissed with inflation so your money become worthless. The UK has a world class economy and strong currency.
